Thus in possession of the address Dick wrote telling of the saving of
the fortune. And, as Mr. Wardell had not been as successful in South
America as he had hoped to be, he came on home, and took up the
management of his affairs, so luckily preserved to him. Mr. Cameron, in
recognition of his services, was made chief engineer of the railroad, a
position that exactly suited him. Mr. Wardell offered Dick a substantial
sum, but the young millionaire turned it over to charity.

kidnapped him, but it was decided best to drop the matter, so they were
not sought out, nor were those who had annoyed and tried to get the
papers from Dick.
"And now let's tour California," said Dick one day, some time after all
court matters were over. "We'll see the sights and start back across the
continent so as to get to Kentfield when the football season opens!"
"That's the talk!" cried Paul Drew.
And here we will take leave of Dick Hamilton and his friends.
